What happens in Seed from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Max Seed, a reclusive Sufferton resident who was disfigured in a school bus crash as a boy, begins a brutal spree in 1973, torturing and murdering people. He films some victims starving to death in his locked basement, and his body count climbs toward 666, casting a shadow over the town and those who dare cross his path.

In 1979, Detective Matt Bishop arrests Seed during a tense siege that costs the lives of five fellow officers. Seed is sentenced to death by electric chair and imprisoned on an island, where he mostly behaves—until he kills three guards who try to rape him, revealing the depths of his brutality.
