Maja is determined to avenge herself for wrongs committed against her centuries ago.
- Do you hold grudges? What’s the longest amount of time you’ve held a grudge?
- Is revenge a dish best served cold?

- Can vengeance be taken too far? Do the ends ever justify the means?
- Is “collateral damage” ever okay in the quest for vengeance?
- How far would you go to stop someone who jeopardized your friends’ lives?
