Based on Stephanie Land's bestselling memoir, "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive", the dramedy series revolves around Alex (Margaret Qualley), a single mother who turns to housekeeping to -- barely -- make ends meet as she battles against poverty, homelessness, and bureaucracy. Told primarily through her point of view, "Maid" is described as a beautiful, alive, gritty and inspiring exploration of poverty in America.
