Set in the 1950s, Larson plays Elizabeth Zott who aspires to become a scientist, but is pressured by society to play the expected role of a dutiful housewife. Rather then bend to societal norms, Zott accepts a job as a TV cooking show host and sets out to teach her viewers (overlooked housewives) more than just new recipes.
