Across Half the Estate

The story
The short version. Second Chance, 55 episodes on YourChannel. Declan was once a hockey star until an injury ended his career and left him in a wheelchair; since then he has shut everyone out and drifted toward self-destruction inside his family's estate.
The first episode opens mid-crisis across the estate grounds. Ellie runs through half the property to stop Declan from dying, and his first response is to snap at her about crossing property lines rather than thanking her. The scene establishes the gap the rest of the arc works across: he expects everyone around him to fear or pity him, and she answers with the same irritation a person would give any rude stranger.
Episode five settles the two of them into the estate's daily rhythm. Family jokes about unconventional fixes for Declan's moods, and Ellie keeps her ground through the household's friction rather than retreating. The opening arc stays on the rehabilitation and the trust being built; it does not resolve what happened to his career or how his family failed him.
Episode three moves into the household's search for the right person to stay near Declan. Tom, who runs the estate for the family, states plainly that he needs someone who will not be afraid of him — the people already in the house have all backed away. Ellie answers that she is not afraid of him, and that answer becomes the basis of her place in the household, even as Declan keeps testing whether she will leave.
