Can Fear Breed Love?

What if a ruthless vigilante transformed one of America’s most affluent, coveted beach-side cities and ended homelessness within its borders in a matter of days? In Dire Means this phenomenon occurs in an unforgettable way.

The ambitious mission isn’t accomplished by any brilliant appeal to public benevolence or by relocating the homeless.
