Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife. Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts – paper, cotton, pottery, tin – and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after. Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors is an exciting domestic thriller about a married couple who has won a weekend trip to Scotland to celebrate their tenth anniversary and try to save their marriage. Except secrets lurk in the corners and someone does not want them to survive. Absolutely important—especially as a great setting can become a character of its own in a story. In the case of Rock, Paper, Scissors , the setting is an isolated, ancient chapel in the Scottish Highlands on the cusp of a winter storm, and you just know something dark is about to happen."
