  We propose a new and compact realization of singlet Dirac dark matter within
the WIMP framework. Our model replaces the standard $Z_2$ stabilizing symmetry
with a $Z_6$, and uses spontaneous symmetry breaking to generate the dark
matter mass, resulting in a much simplified scenario for Dirac dark matter.
Concretely, we extend the Standard Model (SM) with just two new particles, a
Dirac fermion (the dark matter) and a real scalar, both charged under the $Z_6$
symmetry. After acquiring a vacuum expectation value, the scalar gives mass to
the dark matter and mixes with the Higgs boson, providing the link between the
dark sector and the SM particles. With only four free parameters, this new
model is extremely simple and predictive. We study the dark matter density as a
function of the model's free parameters and use a likelihood approach to
determine its viable parameter space. Our results demonstrate that the dark
matter mass can be as large as $6$ TeV while remaining consistent with all
known theoretical and experimental bounds. In addition, a large fraction of
viable models turns out to lie within the sensitivity of future direct
detection experiments, furnishing a promising way to test this appealing
scenario.
