What happens when your mother and boss fall in love? That’s the scenario Zara Ford (Joey King) faces in the first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming summer movie A Family Affair.

Zara loves her single mother, Brooke Hardwood (Nicole Kidman). Conversely, Zara hates her self-absorbed celebrity boss, Chris Cole (Zac Efron). One day, Zara walks in on Brooke and Chris hooking up in the bedroom, causing her to scream and spin directly into the wall. Despite Zara’s objections, Brooke and Chris continue their romantic encounters, complicating their relationship with Zara.
