That phrase is used when there is not a huge difference between two things:
There's a FINE LINE between love and hate.
Get it? It's saying that the difference between them are so minute that the "line" seperating the two is "very thin"

It means that there is a thin boundary between what is acceptable, and what isn't. For example, there is a fine line between genius and madness, etc.
