Well, at the start of Episode IV (now a New Hope), Vader is looking for the stolen Death Star plans.

Rogue One is about the theft of those Death Star plans. And, in the trailer, the focusing dish is being installed on what appears to be a mostly completed Death Star.

So I've been working under the assumption that Rogue One basically takes place not too long before Vader chokes that captain dude out.

Heck, the Rebels don't ever even receive the plans until Leia delivers R2 to Yavin, so they've gotta be pretty fresh. Maybe it'll even end with Leia's ship receiving the plans?

Sounds like it's all about setting the tone to me more "Star Wars" in feel. Apparently it's pretty dark as is...not Empire dark but lots of death (at the hands of a major character) dark. Looks as if they are just trying to make it more family friendly. As much as I liked the trailer, it didn't have as much of a Star Wars feel as other movies/trailers. Of course, it's hard to tell from just a trailer.
 
Well considering ANH opens with Leia being run down by Vader and that he's tracked the plans....well I'd say the plans might have gotten away, but I don't have much faith that anything else did.

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Offers New Character Details

Here’s what else to expect this week from EW’s own peek at Lucasfim’s secret plans:

...

New information about Jyn Erso (The Theory of Everything’s Felicity Jones), the outlaw who has clashed with both the Rebellion and the Empire, and now has a chance to clear her ledger of past wrongs by leading a mission for the good guys. It’s also personal – her father, played by Mads Mikkelsen, is a scientist whose knowledge is sought by both sides.

OK, I really wasn't expecting a Clone Wars animated character. Are all these character data points spoilers now?
