Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy and Theo: successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the facade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing - as Theo's career nosedives while Ivy's own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. The Roses is inspired by the 1989 classic film The War Of The Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler.
