Scoob is a willing wingman because he wants to escape his strict single dad for a few days. After they cross from Georgia to Alabama and Gma keeps avoiding Dads calls, Scoob begins to get suspicious. When Gma lets him see the contents of her once off-limits treasure box, which includes a 1963 edition of the Travelers Green Book, Scoob understands this trip means much more than even he imagined. The complex role race plays in their family and on this trip - Scoob is mixed-race and presents black, and Gma is white - is explored in a meaningful way that provides details about a period in time as well as present-day realities."
