The teaser trailers reveal a young couple, played by Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny, who both work at a country club. The two accidentally witness a physical fight between their boss and his wife (Oscar Isaac and Carrie Mulligan). Mulligan throws and breaks something fragile, and Isaac yells "Stop!
