When David Smallbone's successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David (played by for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up.  The film chronicles David and Helen Smallbone's journey that led them to realize the musical prowess in their children, who would go on to become two of the most successful acts in inspirational music history: four-time Grammy Award-winning artists for KING + COUNTRY and Rebecca St. James.
