Buzzard Plot Summary

What happens in Buzzard from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Marty is an irate mortgage temp who tries to vent his frustration by pulling off small scams against the corporate world that keeps him locked in a dull routine. He resents the tedium of his job, the modest pay, and the sense that he’s trapped in a system that doesn’t value him. His early dime-store deceptions include opening checking accounts to snag free deposits, pilfering items from work to process fraudulent refunds, and even harming his own hand to chase workers’ compensation. The courage of his mischief grows when he targets the bank itself: at First National Bank he lifts a stack of refund checks and forges the payees’ signatures to cash several for himself.
