Maxton Hall Season 1 introduced us to Ruby, a driven and hardworking scholarship student, whose only ambition is to attend Oxford University. She gets entangled in the life of a wealthy heir, James, as they are both punished by their teacher and have to work together to organize the donor Gala in their school.

While working together, the duo grows closer, but a tragic twist of fate at the end of Season 1 takes a toll on their relationship. After learning about his mother's death, James begins substance abuse, which affects his relationship with Ruby. However, in Maxton Hall Season 2, James returns and tries to make amends, during which Ruby tells him that he needs to take care of his emotional health; she does not want to be the person on whom he leans whenever he is going through a hard time.
