Description
A darkly funny, low-stakes caper set in early-2000s Seattle-featuring a stolen BMX bike, a clapped-out Celica, and a ferret named Milo. After a rough breakup, Keith crashes with old friends at a dilapidated Ballard house. He quits his job, buys a rusty Celica for $400, and starts dating a Swedish nanny. But when one of the sketchier roommates steals his younger brother's prized BMX bike, it sets off a slow-motion train wreck of epic proportions. Soon Keith finds himself living in a guest house behind a mansion and working as a personal assistant to a shady tech bro named Chad, whose startup might be porn-adjacent. There's also drunken bowling, putrid corporate bathrooms, grow lamps, a reunited grunge-turned-rockabilly band, a houseboat, a flare gun, and eventually, a shootout. Set in a city where flannel had just given way to fleece, Kato is a deadpan, slacker comedy about revenge, roommates, sibling rivalry, and trying to grow up without a plan. For fans of Nick Hornby and Douglas Coupland, with the hijinks of Office Space and Dude, Where's My Car?
