I'm a sucker for a good paradigm shift...

Like... I've pegged you as some sort of LA gang punk, and lo and behold, you're actually a cat guarding his turf!  Sonofa...

Richelle Mead:
20 Master Plots: And How to Build Them  by Ronald Tobias

Should be available at all your favorite online book retailers.  Covers the biggest archetypes in stories and has a sister book by Victoria Schmidt called 45 Master Characters.  Neat reading, particularly if you're into the myth and archetype thing.  If you need more specific ideas, pulling up those books on Amazon will lead you to a gazillion others via their "suggestions/similar" feature that actually list out very specific plot and subplot points.  I've never read any of those, but you might be able to find something useful.  Good luck!
