An entertaining and insightful look at the modern-day entrepreneurs behind Britain's black market - and the dogged investigators out to get them. Director Max Shapira gains unique access into the lives of these characters as they use their wit and charm to try and make a living under the radar, away from the prying eye of the authorities. The film features fast-talking veteran tout of 35 years, Slim, who hopes to make a killing during the Rugby World Cup, former slick ad man-turned-tobacco smuggler Mark as he runs the gauntlet of Dover's customs officers, market trader Eric, busted for selling fake football shirts not long ago and put on tag, and partner Mary, purveyors of Smell-a-Like perfumes. On the other side of the chase, we ride along with ex-cop Graham, who runs Britain's premier anti-counterfeiting agency, and Trading Standards officer Lee, leading raids against shops selling dodgy fags across East Sussex, clad in her stab vest and armed with her trusty handbag.
