Based on the novel by Juliet McDaniel, Maxine Simmons (Wiig) attempts to secure her seat at America's most exclusive table: Palm Beach high society. As she attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have nots, Mrs. American Pie asks the questions: "Who gets a seat at the table?," "How do you get a seat at the table?" and "What will you sacrifice to get there?"
Dern is currently signed on to only executive produce the period comedy but is also eyeing a "key role" onscreen.
