Freddie Prinze Jr. and Monica Potter reunite 23 years after 'Head Over Heels' in 'The Girl in the Pool'

Freddie Prinze Jr. plays a man desperately trying to hide an affair from his family in a new thriller.

On June 24, Quiver Distribution shared the first trailer for The Girl in the Pool exclusively with PEOPLE. In it, the actor, 48, stars opposite Monica Potter, 23 years after they were in 2001's Head Over Heels together.

Prinze stars as Tom, who reflects on one final rendezvous with a woman he is having an affair with — shortly before that same woman is found dead in his pool. To complicate matters, Tom's wife (Potter) and his family throw him a surprise birthday party in the same backyard.

At the party, Tom's shock is noticed by those around him, including his father-in-law (Kevin Pollak) and a man who arrives at his home saying he is looking for his wife.

US Supreme Court ruling will worsen homelessness crisis, groups warn
Civil rights groups warned that Friday's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding the constitutionality of punishing people for sleeping outdoors would exacerbate homelessness, while some politicians welcomed the power to clear the tent encampments that are being seen increasingly across the country. The court's six-strong conservative majority found that ordinances that punish people for sleeping rough even when there are no shelter beds available do not violate the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on "cruel and unusual" punishments. Organizations that advocate for homeless people said the ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson, which also cited and criticized a related case known as Martin v. Boise, criminalized homelessness and poverty in the many American cities that have a dearth of affordable housing.
