After a long night out in Manhattan, Lucas, a young NYC public school teacher, meets an aspiring art agent, Bailey, at a bodega in The East Village. As the deli clerk loses patience with the young man, Bailey can’t help but overhear as she suggests the pipedream, her favorite sandwich since moving to the neighborhood from Texas. Lucas, attracted to Bailey's charm, proposes to split his sandwich as a thank you for the kind suggestion. Bailey agrees, and the two spend the rest of the night discussing artwork and their plans of one day conquering New York City. Lucas and Bailey develop a romantic bond and continue to spend nights together enjoying pizza, wine, comedy, and all that the city has to offer. Eventually, an opportunity presents itself to Bailey for a ten-month paid position at an art gallery in Paris. Lucas unselfishly encourages Bailey to seize the opportunity that she has before her. Ultimately, Lucas’ students remind him that he also deserves to be happy. This causes Lucas to evaluate not only who he is but what he wants to one day become. The Sublease Agreement is a story of the adventures we sign up for, the journey that we commit to, and the love that we will hopefully, one day, re-new.
