broken lullabies | for king & country

Nila Smallbone has always been known as the "sunshine" in the lives of those she loves, especially since being adopted by Luke & Courtney Smallbone. But when nightmares of things long-repressed begin to torment her at night, she suddenly finds herself face-to-face with a crisis of faith & identity like she never could have imagined. As her family and friends desperately try to show her that their love for her is not contingent on her ability to live up to the "Priceless Posterchild" persona she's created, she spirals, unable to reconcile the truth about her past with who she thought she was. Luke, Courtney, Joel, and Moriah find themselves in a fight for Nila's very life, to show her that she has found where she belongs, where there are no more broken lullabies.
