Roses in December, told in a simple narrative style, is a sentimental, G-rated romance set in the early 1970s. After having suffered a tragic loss, Annie Aldridge attempts to begin her life again with her fretful uncle and precocious young niece. Her newfound love for poetic, whimsical boyfriend, Ethan Jackson, imbues her with hope. But Ethan is a man in search of himself and is unable to decide with whom he wants to be. Just across the street, police detective Al Tortino admires Annie from a careful distance. But for Annie, the handsome neighbor and family friend is little more than an increasing annoyance in her troubled life.
