Conflict, action, resolution the basic parts of any story. Stay in your car and everything will be ok.
Characters only act when forced to. Conflict is their reason to do so. The problem that sends their whole world spinning, sending them on a path to face it
Action is their direct attack or solution to that problem. A plan or place that will no doubt require great effort to achieve.
Resolution of course is how the whole thing shakes out. How their action remedied the conflict, or didn't. A place for your character to celebrate or re-plan.
Just the basic 1,2,3 of story writing. Something to keep in mind when you outline or day dream.
