Zac Efron to play dad in Netflix’s ‘A Family Affair’

*A Family Affair* follows the story of Zara (Joey King), an ambitious woman working as an assistant to narcissistic Hollywood star Chris Cole (Zac Efron). When Chris’s womanizing behavior becomes unbearable, Zara decides to quit. However, her attempt to sever ties with him proves complicated when Chris begins dating her widowed mother (Nicole Kidman). Yikes!
