Undercover

A criminal (an assassin, maybe?) goes deep undercover as a cop/superhero/good guy for some nefarious reason. But as time goes by he finds himself having the same difficulties undercover cops have, but in reverse- instead of being sucked into crime, he finds himself wanting to be a good guy for real. But regardless of what he wants, if he openly switches sides the bad guys (some of whom are his friends) will try to kill him (and he's working for a powerful organization that could easily kill him), and since he has a very long list of very bad crimes he's wanted for, the good guys won't believe him and will toss him in jail.

If you want to totally and completely blow your readers' minds, he eventually finds out that the bad guys are run by a guy who plans their crimes to ultimately do good, and the good guys are run by a guy whose goal is to do evil. The actions of the individuals in the organizations have the opposite effect of what they intend. So MC has to decide if he's going to be evil and do good, or be good and do evil.
