At a Nissan dealership in Longview, Texas, 24 people are gathered around a brand new "Hard Body" pickup truck. In this test of human endurance, whoever can stand upright the longest with his or her hand on the truck, will win the truck. This film captures the lunacy, laughter, heartbreak, and deprivation of the contestants, and examines the financial, social, and competitive reasons why these contestants put themselves through this hell.
