Neuseeland in den 1980er-Jahren: Auf einem Musikfestival trifft der Filmstudent Ethan Grieg die 18-jährige Umweltaktivistin Amber Deering und verliebt sich in sie. Die junge Frau erwidert seine Zuneigung, jedoch nicht auf die Weise, nach der Ethan sich sehnt. Denn in Ambers Leben gibt es auch den charmanten britischen Investor Stuart, der fast zwei Generationen älter ist als sie. Es beginnt ein langer und subtiler Kampf der beiden ungleichen Rivalen um Ambers Herz, den am Ende Stuart gewinnt.Um das Glück des anderen nicht länger mitansehen zu müssen, geht Ethan ins Ausland, wo er sich in anderen Beziehungen versucht und Dokumentarfilmer wird. Als er Jahre später zurückkehrt, ist Stuart ein schwerkranker Mann, der von Amber liebevoll versorgt wird. Ethan und Amber erneuern ihre Freundschaft, die sich bald in verbotene leidenschaftliche Liebe wandelt – und schließlich eine Katastrophe auslöst.Ambers Geheimnis spielt vor der Kulisse der sich schnell verändernden, turbulenten-Jahre, die von der Anti-Atomkraft-Bewegung, den Springbock-Protesten und dem Untergang der Rainbow Warrior geprägt waren. Ein romantisches Drama, ebenso unvorhersehbar wie kraftvoll.
