The normally quiet Dales village is suddenly thrown into chaos when Jimmy King — a man who has long established himself as a “business tycoon” in the community — is unexpectedly hit by a car, leaving him fighting for his life.

The opening scene is haunting: Jimmy steps out of the King & Sons garage into the dark evening, the sunset shining down on his weary body.

Before he can react, a car crashes forward — the metal screeches, Jimmy falls to the road, the shattered glass reflects the red lights in the distance.
The driver? Joe Tate — a powerful businessman at Home Farm — appears before Jimmy with a cold expression, not saying a word.

All eyes turn to Joe as if to say: “Did you do this for power, for revenge, or out of ignorance?” While Jimmy lies motionless on the road, Joe stands there as an observer, just as the police are called.
This tragedy is not simply an accident: the feud between Jimmy and Joe has long been known to viewers – Jimmy once separated from the common business line, Joe has not forgotten. The car that crashed came from the road near Home Farm – where Joe often travels late at night – making the audience believe that this “accident” has a dark hand behind it. When Jimmy is taken to the emergency room, Joe returns to Home Farm, closes the corner of the garage, the lights are dimly lit – as if signaling a big change is coming.

Character perspective: Jimmy is the one who is responsible for the King family, but also tries to maintain the image of a “strong man”. When attacked, he does not scream loudly – just a painful silence, empty eyes when he knows he has been betrayed. And Joe, from the position of “business hero” now facing the crime – can he control his plan? Or will he lose everything if Jimmy lives and reveals the truth?
Conclusion: the article closes with Jimmy still in hospital, the doctors saying “he can recover but it will be a long time” – a badge of something: power bought with blood and fear. Dales will never be the same.
