The Hitting the Nuts.com website informs that the production was written and directed by Joe Boyd, who claims it is the ‘true’ story of the annual illegal poker championship in Scott County, Indiana.
 
Each year, as summer turns to fall, the people of Scott County come together for an annual (and illegal) No Limit Texas Hold Em Poker Tournament. They compete for a cash prize, airfare to Las Vegas and entry into the World Series of Poker Main Event.
 
The website reveals that the film has been four years in the making, and was financed through Hitting the Nuts The Movie, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company.
 
The film is a fictional story of an annual illegal poker championship in Scott County and features an outrageous group of blue-blooded American misfits who take their hobby (and their lives) a little too seriously…and are the real nuts.
 
The tournament is full of wild card players including the zealous town preacher, the aging sexpot waitress, the teenage poker prodigy, the closeted gay funeral director, and, of course, the young Amish farmer hoping to create a better life for himself, his wife and seven kids.
