Quick Synopsis
Set in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, the story follows C. D. Bales, the clever and courageous fire chief known for his unusually large nose. Despite his intelligence and bravery, C. D. feels insecure about his appearance and hesitates to express his feelings for Roxanne Kowalski, a woman he admires deeply. When his shy subordinate, Chris McConnell, develops a crush on Roxanne, C. D. decides to help him by providing the romantic words and confidence Chris lacks, hoping to win Roxanne's affection indirectly.
Detailed Synopsis of Roxanne
In this modern take on Edmond Rostand's classic play "Cyrano de Bergerac," C. D. Bales is the witty, intelligent, and brave fire chief of a small Pacific Northwest town who, due to the size of his enormous nose, declines to pursue the girl of his dreams, lovely Roxanne Kowalski. Instead, when his shy underling Chris McConnell becomes smitten with Roxanne, C.D. feeds the handsome young man the words of love to win her heart.
