In the Greedy People trailer, Patel is playing a small-town cop who accidentally is present at a crime scene where someone dies. After Patel’s character is accidentally present at the scene of a murder crime, he and Gordon-Levitt, who is also playing a cop, discover a huge pile of secret cash inside the victim’s home.
