A film by Sue Shearing based on a true story that tells of the frightening prospect of a woman being arrested and charged with money laundering due to an English law that incorrectly targets the innocent as well as the guilty.
A woman shopper suspects an Asian film crew are terrorists, and tries to report them, but she soon becomes of interest to the police and Special Branch herself when she is found in possession of a large sum of money, and a plane ticket to Spain. She didn't know that if you have over £1000 on you and can't prove where it came from, the police can keep it without charging you. It's just the beginning of the slippery slope... 'No Smoke' is based on true story.—Sue Shearing
No Smoke is the story of an ordinary woman who inadvertently gets involved with the security forces, the police and terrorists. She struggles to extricate herself from this alien world, but it is a losing battle. It is based on a true story, and has a shock ending.—Anonymous
