[3] Avoidance explores the topics of child sexual abuse, hebephilia and pederasty.

It is also about social conventions and mores, and ways in which they depend on environment and upbringing.

Jeremy is a 28-year-old man working at the summer camp[4] where he spent a childhood summer and where he found a true sense of family after the death of his father.

When Max confides in him that he has been sexually abused by the camp director, who was a victim of sexual abuse himself, Jeremy realizes just how close he came to actually committing the same crime.
