A loveable underdog vows to gatecrash 1969 Palm Beach high society in a life-affirming comedy drama written by Abe Sylvia, based loosely on Juliet McDaniel's novel Mr & Mrs American Pie. Insatiable social climber Maxine Simmons (Kristen Wiig) arrives in Palm Beach and quickly realises that the dividing line between the haves and have nots is admission to the most exclusive club in town: Palm Royale. Evelyn Rollins (Allison Janney) is queen bee of this hive of dark secrets and she deeply resents Maxine's efforts to worm her way into rarefied circles where she clearly doesn't belong. Unperturbed, Maxine makes friends with staff including master mixologist Robert (Ricky Martin) to elbow her way into the club and undermine Evelyn's influence
