Hedgehog

Hedgehog tells the story of Ali (Brewer), a young comedienne who longs to follow in the footsteps of her once well-known comic father but who cannot perform out of fear that she will suffer his same fate. In the hopes of conquering her fears, Ali begins taking writing classes but soon finds that the cost of the classes, plus those of her cousin Kyle's (Tann) impending wedding, force her to take a second job assisting an aging professor (Dowd) as she prepares to move out of her home. Through each new relationship, the character finds that she must reconcile her issues with vulnerability in order to find her own path.
