October Novel Prep Challenge

Oh Wow!!! I am already struggling with that, and I haven't even started yet. The story I want to write has something going on that is against the law and has been for over 200 yrs. My good guy - neat character, knows about it...is caught up in it...can't talk about it...can't negotiate about quitting his role because there is no negotiation with the Chiefs. I just can't get beyond and find a way to angle his character. No matter what I do...if he gets found out, he's breaking the law, and don't know how to rescue him in the end.
