How far would you go for revenge? If you were given a chance at deadly retribution with a guarantee that the law could not touch you, would you take it?

To the damaged and downtrodden living on the fringes of society, the offer is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to even their scores. But beyond the dilemma of whether or not to pull the trigger lies a deeper and even more troubling concern: Just who is making these actions possible--and why?
