Driven by rage, empathy, and something she can’t yet name, Wally patrols the streets at night, hunting abusive hipster men and taking physical revenge on behalf of the survivors who can’t. When she falls for the pragmatic, law-abiding Lou, she’s faced with a most contemporary challenge: How does one keep one’s romantic life separate one from one’s vigilante campaign?
