Two youngsters get out of school due to the death of their Uncle Edward. It turns out Uncle Edward has died six times this year–and the lad and lass don’t even have an Uncle Edward.

Rather their departed uncle is a ticket to family adventure as mom and dad pick the kids up at school and take off in their mid-size SUV Volkswagen Atlas.

Lance Acord of Park Pictures directed “Hooky” for Deutsch.
