Neal (Aaron Stanford) will be a rock star; Miss Pussy Katz (Zooey Deschanel) will be an art legend. Together they will live forever in an Airstream trailer pulled by and El Dorado Convertible. This isn't a dream. It's a plan. And Neal might have the goods for it. But he'll never know, because he spends way too much time working at Flakes, a bohemian cereal shop in pre-Katrina New Orleans. When a junior-capitalist opens a rip-off of Flakes right across the street, Neal declares war. He gets sucked further and further in until Miss Pussy Katz realizes that to save his dreams, she must liberate Neal from his obsession. She joins the other side in order to bury Flakes -- a mercy killing from her point of view. Bravely donning the paper hat, Miss Pussy Katz hangs her art next to a giant Cheerio, and defuses a cereal riot -- anything to save the dream. But in victory, she sees that Neal will never live up to his promise. And when she finally gives up, it is Neal's turn to save the dream.
