Synopsis
Waitress delves into the life of Jenna Hunterson, a waitress ensnared in a dreary marriage, whose life takes a tumultuous turn when she discovers she’s pregnant. Jenna’s mundane days are punctuated by her creatively named pies, which serve as metaphors for the escapades and dreams stirring within her. Her life’s monotony breaks when a baking contest and the arrival of a handsome new doctor in town.
